NuGet got a lot of love in this release, especially when it comes to packages that are supported - which is not always as easy as it seems. We now have full support for Fody, MVVM Light as well as Entity Framework 6. If you find a package you need that doesn't work in SharpDevelop, please let us know in the forums.

In other news, SharpDevelop 4.4 allows you to target .NET 4.5.1, and it supports the 12.0 solution format (VS 2013). NUnit and Subversion integration were upgraded too, and we made quite a few bug fixes (to point out one area: the WPF designer).
